Clause 39
Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Bill
3:00 pm
Vera Baird (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Department for Constitutional Affairs; Redcar, Labour)
I will write to the hon. Gentleman about the cost. The duty that subsection (3) places on the Lord Chancellor is identical to that which he has in respect of the courts. The provisions mirror section 1 of the Courts Act 2003. One would expect the format of the report and the procedures that follow it to be exactly the same. Those procedures have proved acceptable under the 2003 Act, which holds great promise, I would have thought, for the new provisions to be acceptable in future.
